Last Thursday was the Crea-i-tiv-i-tea " Show and Tell Luncheon". Oh we had fun. Put 18 talented ladies with their latest creations, great food and drink how could you help but have fun.
It was a great reason to finish the mosaic cakes I started about a year ago. Finished on Wednesday night and filled with flowers from my garden on Thursday morning.
I was amazed how many TRULY talented artist there were but few knew about the other's talents. I watched as old and new friends discovered things about each other that they never knew. I personally feel that my art is a very personal aspect of me that I rarely share in my every day life, so the opportunity to share with like minded ladies was fantastic.
Take a peek at how much fun we had! The tables were set
We put an vintage family quilt on the pool table for everyone to display their art.
I have to brag a little bit...this is my mother's needlepoint. She designed, made it and finished to frame. It was a hit!
Of course the kitchen was a popular gathering place too.Every one brought a salad or a dessert and it all was yummy!
My guest left with new friends, new ideas and a little favor with the tea recipes we served tucked inside.
Wishing you great friends and creat-i-tiv-i-tea!
Enjoy!

Wow! what a fun time all you girls must have had! I wish I had been there! The mosaic cakes are soooo gorgeous!!! Sherry
What a great idea and it looks like everyone had a great time.
Today I stopped in a little shop I just discovered and they had cake like the ones you made. It cost $750 so you really do have quite a treasure there!
Hugs,

I AM so fortunate to have been at the tea in person. Let me tell you an intimate story. My mother was a guest and although she didn't share a craft ( she said I was her craft!), she truly had such a lovely time. I watched her "bloom" and connect with old friends and make new ones. In fact, she loved it so,that she announced later, she was selling her house, and moving into Kelley's farm lodge! My parent's have shared some health issues the last few years, so for me, this tea was a gift of joy and laughter. Thank you, Kelley, for once again, showing us your love for life and your creative spirit. It was truly, in all senses, a beautiful day. Love, Patty
